Ojibwe

The Ojibwe are a tribe of Native Americans in both the United States and Canada. Also known as the Chippewa, they are the fourth-largest tribe in the United States and the second-largest in Canada, with 170,142 living in the USA in 2010. Many lived near Fort Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, leading to some Canadian Ojibwe becoming known as "Salteaux"; the Mississaugas were Ojibwe who headed to Ontario. The Ojibwe are best known for their birch bark canoes and scrolls, their cultivation of wild rice, and their use of copper arrowheads, and the Ojibwe were very friendly with the Europeans, allowing them to settle on their land.
